Smokin trax… im in heaven…. taken me back to my days in the N.Y.!
This sh– its funky bass line crazy funky break sampled by many rappers back in the day
? !!!!!
honestly i know dan brewster from this group i grew up listening to pleasures glide and joyous. also i breakdance and lock and pop. nothing gets me giggin like old funk like this. also sampling is a part of inventing new styles if you flip and freak it fresh. also rap and hiphop are two different things. hiphop is always fresh and new, most of what is on the radio is not hiphop at all. it is assumed to be because of self proclaimed hiphop artists like 50cent when in reality they are rappers.
And let the Funk be forever with you, Bro’. I’m not hip to ‘Angel’ or ‘Mr. Mean,’ but will do some lookin’ into. Peace.
Mah Man! Feelin’ ‘Stone Jam’ too, esp. ‘Feel My Love’, mos def, so no complaints there. Nothin’, though, will ever touch the Ohio Players when it comes to layin’ down da Funk. ‘Angel’ still stands among my all-time favourite albums (of any genre),while ‘Magic Trick’ (from ‘Mr Mean’) is the OPs at their damned, sho ’nuff funkiest. May da FUNK, da whole & nothin’ but…, be with you my brother!
Ditto! again, Black Panther. Hip hop is a second best at sampling unless it embraces live musicians like the groups you mentioned before. I was just saying it was a way of keeping the music alive. Just a note of opinion, ‘Showtime’ cannot walk in Slave’s
‘Stone Jam’ shoes by a mile. Talk about dance funk classics, that album reigns supreme.
…was something to savour back in those grand ‘ol days.Funny you should mention ‘Unlimited Touch’ as remember the strong club interest the band’s debut set generated when released in early ’81,particularly ‘Searchin’ to Find’,& ‘I Hear Music In The Streets’ (still stands among my all-time disco-funk tracks), as well as Slave’s fine ‘Showtime’ set released around the same time.Really don’t want to denigrate Hip Hop too strong here,but there really is no contest with da Funk,period!
…younger than many a classic Hip Hop act,just see a palpable difference in the music climate before and after the mid-80s.Clearly remember the mouth-watering anticipation on the eve of many a classic 70s/early 80s album release:EW&F’s ‘All ‘n All’,every Bob Marley album from 1977-80,MJ’s ‘Off The Wall’,Stevie’s ‘Songs…’ & ‘Hotter Than July’,George Duke’s ‘Brazilian Love Affair’,the end product usually justifying all the media hullabaloo & sales pitch.This was because there really…
Appreciated jeffersonhome… While acknowledging sampling has introduced many a great track to a younger audience, have to disagree with it keeping ‘music like this alive.’Suprisingly,you may find,I’ve also been a fan of Hip Hop where I feel there’s been a more organic approach in the production process:Pete Rock,Premier,The Roots,DJ Quik (minus lyrical content),Battlecat,the latter three having the creative nous to use live musicians. Maybe I’m old before my time, being indeed…
Ditto on everything except the sampling comment. I grew up in the 70s, and went to school with the guys who started Unlimited Touch and BBQ. In my opinion, that was a renaissance period for black bands. Then something happened–budget cuts, new music trends, I don’t know exactly–but the bands disappeared. Hip hop happened. Which, if you look at it, is the new bebop. I’m a fan of its creativity not so much of the content. Sampling while it copies, keeps the music like this alive.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Anyone who knows anything about 70′s funk bands knows that Pleasure was in a league of thier own, just check out “let me be the one” or the album Get to the feeling, this was when Everyone in the band had to be bad
The guitar solo was a year before Edward Van Halen’s Eruption solo (1978) which is considered THE Greatest guitar solo of all time. Shame this album never made it to CD ?
Right on bro, 1977 EW&F
I think this might be my favorite funk song ever made.
Awefuckinsome!!!!!!!!!!
Title track from one of the greatest ever funk albums,& in my all-time top five lps of that glorious year of 1977 one of the best ever in the history of recorded music (EW&F’s ‘All ‘n All’,Norman Connors”This Is Your Life’, motions ‘Rejoice’).Love the clever use of JB’s ‘Payback’ b-line intro,taken to a whole new level.Back then it was about artistic license (as in being inspired by),rather than blatant plaguerism that came with so-called ‘sampling’ from the late 80s onwards.Immortal classic!
It IS a great funk solo but IMHO, greatest git funk solo ever perf’d was by Ernie Isley on “Who’s That Lady”! His J.Hendrix-inspired technique on a Fender Stratocaster ran thru a Big Muff Pi efx unit served up 1 of the most lyrically,delicious solo’s ever recorded in the funk genre!
This was THE BADASS cut of that time!
i’m gonna give that to the track ‘maggot brain’ by eddie hazel, and i’m sure there’s some zeppelin riffs that are nuts, but this is up there.
best guitar solo in all of funk? best guitar solo ever! i spent years trying to find out who sang this song.Great stuff. A classic
best guitar solo in all of funk..
Kid N Play heavley sampled this song on a track on the House Party soundtrack called “Kid Vs Play” of which they did in the movie!!
“The Way I like It, let me see you doing yo’ thang, the way I like it, makes me wanna saaang” . Just the best jazz-funk record ever! Can’t get enuff! Cheers for the post!
